A romantic Boho look for todays photo shoot. This is the first of many I hope. This shoot was one of the best so far and SO much fun. Most days, I just can't decide what I want to look like. What you wear sets the tone for the whole day and the attitude you will carry with you. I know Christmas has just passed but I cannot wait for SPRING! Dresses, sandals, tans, iced coffee, the whole sha-bang. I seriously cannot wait. But don't worry, I'll calm down and wait for December to be over. As cold as it was to bare this outfit the other day in the PNW, it was thrilling and definitely got me thinking.

 

 

When I want to feel creative, eclectic, natural, and so much more I opt for a braided look for my hair. There is so much you can do and its so timeless! I will up some of my favorite braid tutorials soon. Lets me know which kinds you would like to learn.

 

Thanks for hanging out, Lela Ruth Lifestyle loves you!

Just Put Flowers On It

Just Put A Flower On It

The Christmas day came and went in a beautiful blur. I hope everyone rejoiced in the meaning of Christmas, and received lots of love. That's the stuff that really matters, although it doesn't hurt to get presents.

 

Anyone know of any really cool fashion bloggers out there that posted all kinds of fun looks for this Christmas season? Let's see some links people! That was one of my favorite parts. Seeing what others were sharing was such an inspiration! I especially like all the woman who go outside the box... Looks like I need to step up my game.

 

To all who don't know, I love a good floral pattern and think the pictures turned out great. I went through a stage where everything I wore was floral.

 

Compliments to Nordstroms, Halo Crown Hair, Macy's, and forever 21 for the Clothing items provided for these looks.

Stay tuned because my next post is going to be WONDERFUL.

Thank you from Lela Ruth Lifestyle Fashion Blog. We love you.

Christmas, Tights, and Glitter. Tis' the season.

Lets get this Christmas party started people. Tis' the season. It seems like I have seen Family and friends decorating everyday this month. Every home I walk into is so inviting and filled with cheer. I even saw a martini shaker in the form of a christmas tree. In between all the eggnog and ugly sweater parties we managed to take a few pictures for today. When your trying to dress cute on a very low budget this holiday season (that is how im keepin' this blog afloat for now) Its totally okay! All you need is like, three things that I will share with you.

Have a sweater that says "im stylish enough to make this this sweater even a little sexy." Then, after you say that, go eat a snowman shaped cookie with pride. second thing you will need to survive is one single pair of tights. When wearing these tights tread lightly ladies, this pair of tights could last your whole life, or one night depending on how you conduct yourself. And the third item, last but not least, is a tiny bit of glitter. Because glitter is always in season.

This Christmas season, my advice to you is to be as bold as possible. Feel free to get a little crazy. Go ahead and put those weird antlers on your car, or wear that pine and cinnamon purfume you have been dying to try. If there is any time of year you shouldnt feel ashamed, this would be the time. And you can get away with it all! If you are planning a trip for the holiday or you are trying to escape the PNW cold, make sure to check out the banner on your right for great travel prices as well.

XOXO
